I am having Windows XP Service Pack 3 and I am having issues with the autoupdates. The last 2 or 3 days I got the notification in my taskbar that my auto update is turned off and asks me to go to control panel to tyrn it on. But it is turned on there.

I tried doing a manual update using the windows update page, but there once I select the express install, I get

So I am not able to do any updates. I have Zonealarm firewall, AVG antivirus & spybot in my system.

I also have the same problem. When I go to windows update it would open the browser and says windows is trying to find latest updates. Then it will say that a new windows update agent needs to be installed. It goes to the same process as with what vjy says and in the end will will give the same error message as with vjy.

Assuming you have disabled all protective software during auto-update?

Yes, firewall and AV.

Have you tried to download the updates and manually install them?

Have not tried this one yet as I do not know which update applies to the server. I want to try the windows update so I get to have a list of applicable updates buy it says that I need to install an updated windows update agent. When I try to update it, it gets the error.
